From the Notebooks of Lazarus Long:
excerpt:
And still another— See to it that she has her own desk—then keep your hands off it!
And another—In a family argument, if it turns out you are right—apologize at once!
“God split himself into a myriad parts that he might have friends.” This may not be true, but it sounds good—and is no sillier than any other theology.
To stay young requires unceasing cultivation of the ability to unlearn old falsehoods.
Does history record any case in which the majority was right?
When the fox gnaws—smile!
A “critic” is a man who creates nothing and thereby feels qualified to judge the work of creative men. There is logic in this; he is unbiased—he hates all creative, people equally.
Money is truthful. If a man speaks of his honor, make him pay cash.
Never frighten a little man. He’ll kill you.
Only a sadistic scoundrel—or a fool—tells the bald truth on social occasions.
Yield to temptation, it may not pass your way again.
*A “critic” is a man who creates nothing and thereby feels qualified to judge the work of creative men. There is logic in this; he is unbiased—he hates all creative, people equally.*
I think I know a PRIME example of someone who is the epitome of that!
Probably 99% of Freepers would concur!
